I have an 1936 vintage Kitchenaid stand mixer. This mixer is a real
workhorse and gets lots of use. Back in 2000 the grease needed to be
replaced. Upon opening the gearbox I could see that the old white
grease had dried out quite a bit. Anyway, I replaced the grease with
more white grease. Now, 14 years later the white grease I put in has
lost a lot of the oil and has turned into glue. The stuff won't even
wash out with solvents that usually work on grease. Anyway, I want to
grease this mixer just one more time and have it last at least twice
as long as the last greasing. If it does I'll be so old I won't care
if the grease dries up because I probably won't be grinding meat and
making bread. So, which grease is best for this application?

Food grade grease is required as the mixers do loose a little down into
the bowl over time.

Vaseline perhaps? Once had the misfortune of working in a rubber shop
(baby bottle nipples...) the food grade grease for presses came in 20
gallon drums and was labeled "white petrolatum". Which is what Vaseline
is.

Slick 50 one grease. Some say it's snake oil, it's proven to be the
best I've used.

Food grade silicone synthetic grease. It won't dry up and harden, and
it is food safe - and it lasts "forever" compared to both petrolatum
and white Lithium soap grease.

I have yet to see a Kitchen Aid mixer spew grease and I doubt any grease
would harm anyone in tiny amounts. But, your suggestion is a good one.

I guess you haven't got both state and federal food inspectors
stopping by your place. One comes after the Dept. of Ag inspector
leaves. The other shows up right after the OSHA inspector fines me
again. At least I didn't get fined when the labor inspector who
showed up with the new worker protection standard. He only made me
train 14 year old strawberry pickers how to apply pesticides. But, my
favorite is still the water quality inspector. He has authority over
my privy - that's all - and spends three hours a year here checking it

to pull the machine apart to ckeck the grease. I did email Amsoil to

Sixty-five years ago, they probably didn't give a rat's ass about "food
grade" vs. regular petroleum/soap greases. Likely, they figured, "If
grease is leaking out onto your food, STOP USING IT, STUPID!"

(like they should now)

So they most likely selected the BEST grease, not the best 'food grade'
grease.

That it lasted 65 years without re-greasing sort of belies that theory.
In the 30s and 40s, about the only concessions to quality in most name-
brand appliances was to weight -- and not a lot of that, either. They
didn't take the sort of Chinese shortcuts you see now.

Even though there is a drip ring around the planetary gear there is
another shaft that drips oil from the grease once in a while. I don't
want it in my food, it may make it taste bad. I'm pretty sure food
grade grease is made to be tasteless so that if it drips into the food
not only is there no safety issue there is no product rejected because
it tastes bad. When I go to all the trouble of making bread it should
taste excellent.

Gee, I dunno. Maybe something about it being specified by the company

thing about it being a FOOD PROCESSOR, Tawm.

I'd rather my mixing bar wasn't made out of hexavalent chrome, too.

Besides, toxic heavy metal additives in grease might not taste very
good, even in teensy quantities.

I guess you haven't got both state and federal food inspectors
stopping by your place. One comes after the Dept. of Ag inspector
leaves. The other shows up right after the OSHA inspector fines me
again. At least I didn't get fined when the labor inspector who
showed up with the new worker protection standard. He only made me
train 14 year old strawberry pickers how to apply pesticides. But, my
favorite is still the water quality inspector. He has authority over
my privy - that's all - and spends three hours a year here checking it
out.

Most people don't have to deal with the goberment every time they
fire-up the cookie dough machine. You're just blessed! OSHA fined me
for a non-industrial power strip that had a radio plugged into
it...belonged to the same guy that was rejected by one of the girls here
so he called OSHA.

I hope he found a horse head in his bed soon thereafter.

Sixty-five years ago, they probably didn't give a rat's ass about "food
grade" vs. regular petroleum/soap greases. Likely, they figured, "If
grease is leaking out onto your food, STOP USING IT, STUPID!"

(like they should now)

So they most likely selected the BEST grease, not the best 'food grade'
grease.

Or just the cheapest grease that would get it through warranty - - - -

Which food-grade grease did Kitchenaid suggest you use when you
called

them?



How about this? (no, I've never tried it)

Why are people stuck on food-grade grease? How much does the thing
spew

into the cookie dough?

VERY little - but rather safe than sorry - and the stuff is available,

at reasonable cost - and it works VERY well.

In his defense, Eric lives in the middle of aerospace alley, been there done
that, probably just a spin of the dice that I happen to have kicked that
habit and have ended up doing a quite a bit of work in food-processing
arena, to spite a similar upbringing.

That's really strange. Maybe their farkin' lawyers are holding their
tongues. sigh

If any one has a good sharp linoleum knife...that can be arrainged.

I was once told by a “gun safety” advocate back in the Nineties
that he favored total civilian firearms confiscation.
Only the military and police should have weapons he averred and what did I think about that?

I began to give him a reasoned answer and he
cut me off with an abrupt, “Give me the short answer.”

I thought for a moment and said, “If you try to take our firearms we will kill you.”"

Vaseline perhaps? Once had the misfortune of working in a rubber shop
(baby bottle nipples...) the food grade grease for presses came in 20
gallon drums and was labeled "white petrolatum". Which is what
Vaseline is.

You might be fascinated to learn that Amazon sells KY Jelly in 55 gallon
drums.

The user reviews are priceless.
